[Intro: DJ Paul talking]
Man, I don't understand these n***as out here, man
But to be honest with you these n***as don't understand they motherfuckin' self
You know I'm sayin'?
How a n***a old gon' hate on a n***a that he above?
In the game, you know I'm sayin'
It's because they know who's the realest between me versus them
All of them motherfuckers
They know and they don't wanna see what will happen
If you get the same opportunities in the game that they got
That's why they stay close... TO HOLD YOU DOWN!
[Repeating John Legend vocal sample]
My head's under-
My head's under-
My head's under water
[Verse]
These haters wanna hold me down cause they know I'm really a problem to them
I'm still afloat after all the cut-throat, that's a problem to them
Why they hatin' on the king, is it cause I'm really harder than them?
Rappers gettin' fame, start to change, ain't the same, like a synonym
See I'm a real n***a (n***a) and I hate rappers (rappers)
Y'all some sweet n***as in some funny clothes like some candy wrappers
Why (?) they dogs, why do they wanna hurt on they dogs
Why a n***a already on the vault, prayin' for the fall of the underdog
But that's how these n***as is out here
These n***as don't give a fuck out here
Stab his ass dead in the back out here
Demons they buried in the backyard here
Never asked them for shit in my life
And they knowin' they owe me they life
These suckers ain't stand-up guys
Cause they only know to lie
[Hook]
These haters wanna hold me down, wanna see me drown
These haters wanna hold me down, wanna see me drown
Y'all can't hold me back lil n***as, ol' bitch head n***as
Y'all can't hold me back lil n***as, ol' bitch head n***as
These haters wanna hold me down, wanna see me drown
These haters wanna hold me down, wanna see me drown
Y'all can't hold me back lil n***as, ol' bitch head n***as
Y'all can't hold me back lil n***as, ol' bitch head n***as
These haters wanna hold me down, wanna see me drown
These haters wanna hold me down, wanna see me drown
Y'all can't hold me back lil n***as, ol' bitch head n***as
Y'all can't hold me back lil n***as, ol' bitch head n***as
